Korea has confirmed a fourth case of African swine fever (ASF) from pig farms this year, officials said Sunday.

The latest ASF case was found at a farm in Yeongcheon, 243 kilometers southeast of Seoul, the previous day, according to the farm ministry.

The government issued a 48-hour standstill order for pig farms and related facilities in the nearby region.

ASF does not affect humans but is deadly to pigs. There is currently no vaccine or cure for the disease.

The ministry said the case will have a limited effect on the local pork market while 안전 calling on farms to thoroughly abide by the necessary quarantine steps

Kim Young-ae, 90, a door-to-door salesperson of 51 years, said she will continue working as long as her health allows, according to Amorepacific, whose beauty products she has been selling since 1972, on Sunday.

Kim visits one of Amorepacific’s outdoor shops in Yeongdeungpo District in western Seoul 10 to 15 times monthly. In this era of online shopping, the beauty sector attracts consumers via celebrities, trendy commercials and stores run by clerks speaking multiple languages in tourism hotspots, but Kim faithfully sticks to her now nearly extinct sales practice.

“Amorepacific is a historic brand with many years of research and development. Because of that fact, many local people here believe the company is the country’s No. 1 cosmetic firm,” said Kim, who has sold more than 1 billion won ($720,000) worth of the company’s products throughout her career.

“My customers mostly seek Sulwhasoo these days. Among the brand’s products, concentrated ginseng renewing cream and first care activating perfecting serum are the most popular,” she added.

As Kim has been getting old, so have her customers. Some of her loyal customers have already died. Among those still buying from Kim, some have become her close friends, concerned about each other’s health and remaining years of life.

“My family members tell me to quit and rest, but I want to do this until I can,” Kim said. “Having a place to commute and people to talk to is a joyous thing and the best way to keep myself healthy.”

Amorepacific said that out of over 22,300 door-to-door sales agents currently active in Korea, nine percent are women in their 70s or older. Kim, in this aging society, maybe a role model for her age group within the workforce as modern medicine continues to help older people keep their careers.

Kim began her sales career at Amorepacific at age 38 in 1972 when her husband’s difficulties at work called for her to help bring in an additional income to keep her household afloat. 추천 With her shy nature, she couldn’t sell a single product for the first 10 days. Her first sale was a 600-won manicure product someone bought out of pity. The same day, she also sold a 1,600-won bottle of milk lotion.

“I still remember how I felt that day even after 50 years,” said Kim. She sold dozens of Amorepacific labels during the 1970s and 80s, when door-to-door sales accounted for more than 70 percent of the company’s overall sales. Now the figure has dropped to 15 percent.

It was the first week of June, just days before Korea’s first heat wave of the year. Inside what was once a small town church in Seongbuk District, northeastern Seoul, bright summer sunlight streamed through rows of vertical slit windows.

The sunbeams fell upon swarms of painted sinuous lines and colored planes drifting across the building’s mint-hued walls. And as the light shifted with the passing of time, different clusters of feverish strokes shimmered in succession, slowly coming to life.

Such was the quiet spectacle that greeted me upon arriving at TINC (This is Not a Church), a 카지노 church-turned-independent project space, where emerging artist Choi Yoon-hee’s mini-exhibition, “Tuning In,” is currently on view.

Throughout her creative odyssey, Choi has focused on transferring the lingering afterimages of her bodily sensations and impressions gathered from the external world onto canvas via gestural brushstrokes and smeared paints.

Her ongoing presentation is a mini-show in terms of the number of featured works — just three from her latest “Time Standing in a Passage” series — but by no means does it feel that way due to their sheer scale.

The size of the oil paintings — each 6 meters in length and 2.6 meters in height, making them the 38-year-old’s largest creations to date — mirrors the dimensions of the wall in her compact Seoul studio.

This meant that after completing one wall-filling piece, the artist had no choice but to place the next canvas directly over the first to make room — the process that inevitably caused the memory of the previous work to fade away.

With the implementation of Korea’s first law on virtual asset user protection, due to occur on July 19, cryptocurrency exchanges are set to comprehensively review the listing status of over 600 virtual assets currently being traded.

According to the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) and the virtual asset industry on Sunday, 29 cryptocurrency exchanges registered to the financial authorities, including Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit and Gopax, must regularly evaluate whether to continue supporting the trading of their listed coins.

The exchanges are each required to set up their own evaluation and decision-making body within their organizations, with the said bodies assessing the reliability of the issuer of their listed coins, user protection measures, technology and security and compliance with regulations.

With regards to assets like Bitcoin, of which the issuer is not specified, alternative review criteria will be introduced.

When cryptocurrency coins do not meet certain standards, they will be designated as cautionary and will face delisting.

“Financial authorities will support cryptocurrency exchanges to conduct reviews on their listed coins every six months regarding whether to continue supporting the trading of the virtual assets. After this initial review, the exchanges will be required to conduct maintenance reviews every three months,” an official from the financial authorities said.

Financial authorities are also preparing guidelines for virtual asset transactions, aiming for them to be utilized by virtual asset exchanges from next month, when the virtual asset user protection law is set to come into effect.

The figures from the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit under the Financial Services Commission (FSC) showed that the total number of cryptocurrency coins listed 카지노 on the domestic virtual asset exchanges stood at around 600 as of the second half of last year, which is about a 3.5 percent fall compared to the first half of last year.

Meanwhile, the financial authorities are also preparing a change in their internal structures to devise policies on the cryptocurrency industry effectively.

The FSC plans to establish a new bureau solely dedicated to virtual assets so as to oversee the overall regulatory framework for the virtual asset industry as early as the end of this month.

The FSC’s organizational amendment, which includes these details, will complete its legislative notice by Monday and will be reviewed by the cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

The FSS is also gearing up for its supervision and investigations into unfair trade in the virtual asset sector at two new bureaus established at the end of last year.

Discussions between the government, employers and employees will start this week to improve the balance between work and life and add more flexibility to the country’s 52-hour workweek.

The Presidential Economic, Social and Labor Council said, Sunday, it will launch a committee on work-life balance, while the first meeting will take place, Friday, to discuss plans to reduce working hours and increase flexibility to the workweek.

The council is a presidential panel promoting trilateral dialogue between labor, management and the government. It is the only official communication channel 토토 between the three sides. The Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU) represents employees, while the Korea Enterprises Federation (KEF) and other business lobby groups represents employers.

The committee is poised to address Korea’s notoriously long working hours. Koreans worked 1,901 hours on average in 2022, which is 149 hours more than the OECD average.

Both employers and employees agree that working hours should be reduced, but have different approaches to overhauling the current workweek, which is capped at 52 hours — 40 regular hours and 12 hours of possible overtime.

Employers believe that this rule should be reformed to allow businesses to manage their workers more flexibly, allowing employees to work intensively during busy periods and work shorter hours during slow periods.

During an interview with reporters on June 10, KEF Chairman Sohn Kyung-shik stressed the need for greater flexibility in the workweek system.

Citing the game industry, where work hours commonly extend overnight during crunch periods, he said the workweek system should be able to reflect the different natures of various industries. “After workers finish all work, they can have a week or two weeks off. This flexibility, I think, is most important in the labor market. Korea should pursue it,” Sohn said.

The Yoon Suk Yeol administration attempted to overhaul the workweek system in March last year, but ended up maintaining the current system after facing a strong backlash from opponents claiming that the proposed plan may extend the maximum workweek to 69 hours.

Jo Won-bin, who plays for Peoria Chiefs, the Hissinkle A team of the St. Louis Cardinals, had one hit (homer) and two RBIs from five times at bat in a game against the South Bend Cubs under the Chicago Cubs. He hit his second homer since hitting his first homer of the season on May 18.

Starting as a center fielder, Cho hit a two-run shot in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. Jo, who got on base after Jacques Levenson hit a right-handed hit, faced off opponent starter Will Sanders and banged on the first pitch, but was fouled. He picked out the ball outside the second or third pitches, hit the ball straight to the center, and the ball crossed the fence. Peoria’s lead is 2-0. 토토사이트 추천

With Levenson’s solo shot leading 3-0 in the bottom of the third inning, Cho tried to bunt the first pitch, but failed. He swung at low balls in a row for the second and third pitches, but failed to hit them and struck out.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, he had a showdown with Yovani Cabrera, a new pitcher. With Levenson hitting a double and advancing to the third base through wild pitch, Cho struck out swinging on a low ball from the outside after a close game of full count.

With two outs and a runner on the first base in the bottom of the sixth inning, Cho was out on a fly to the left field in the bottom of the eighth inning, failing to garner an additional hit. After Cho’s first two-run shot, the team scored an additional run and won the game 6-2.

Cho Won-bin played in 43 games this season, recording a batting average of .24 percent (31 hits in 152 times at bat) with two homers and 15 RBIs. In 2020, when he was a second grader at Seoul Convention High School, he played for Korea in the World Power Showcase Home Run Derby and became the first Asian winner under the age of 18 to make his name known.

Jo, who joined the St. Louis Cardinals for a down payment of $500,000 in 2022, had a batting average of 211 percent with one homer and three RBIs in his first year in the rookie league. He played 105 games in Single A last year, posting a batting average of 27 percent, seven homers and 52 RBIs, and 32 steals. He is playing in High Single A, a step up this season.

Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, the leaders of the New York Yankees, ranked first and second in both major league hitters’ power rankings. They look like amazing batting duo.

MLBcom, the official website of Major League Baseball, announced on Thursday (Korea time) that it has selected the top 10 batters’ power rankings. This is the sixth announcement since the opening of this season.

According to him, Judge, who is surpassing himself two years ago, has risen to the top spot with an amazing batting sense. Judge is racing toward his second MVP.

This is the second consecutive No. 1 ranking. Earlier, Judge topped the list for the first time in his fifth announcement of this season, which was announced on April 30. He has taken the lead for the second consecutive time. 토토사이트 추천

Judge had a batting average of 0.306, 25 homers, 62 RBIs, 53 runs scored, 76 hits, and an on-base percentage of 0.433 OPS 1.135 in 69 games of the season until the 13th.

This means that Judge ranks first in home runs, on-base percentage, and OPS overall in the Major League. In addition, Judge ranks first in wRC+ and FAWAR overall. He is literally dominating the league.

In second place was Soto, who leads the New York Yankees’ lineup along with Judge. Soto has already taken second place for the third time this season.

Soto has a batting average of 0.317 with 17 homers, 53 RBIs, 55 runs and 78 hits, and a 0.432 OPS 1.026 in 67 games of the season until the 13th, showing his batting ability after Judge.

In particular, Soto is aiming for the FA jackpot after this season based on his amazing batting performance this season. There is already a prospect of a total of $500 million.

Gunner Henderson, who is aiming for his first 50 home runs at shortstop since Alex Rodriguez, was ranked third, and Ohtani fell from second to fourth.

Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., who continued to show perfect performance in offense and defense, jumped from ninth to fifth. Witt Jr. is competing with Henderson for the top shortstop.

Bryce Harper, Jose Ramirez, Mookie Betts, Marcel Ozuna and Jordan Alvarez ranked 6th to 10th. Harper and Betts are expected to compete for the NL MVP.

(MHN Sports Arizona Reporter Lee Sang-hee) Kim Ha-sung (29)’s team has won as many as five games in the last six games. In particular, the past two days have attracted more attention by securing a win over Oakland with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. San Diego’s recent upturn has been reportedly attributed to its strong teamwork.

The San Diego Union-Turribune reported in an article on Monday (Korea Standard Time) that “San Diego had numerous team meetings last season. Most of them were not convened by players. However, when San Diego suffered its first sweep of the season by the Los Angeles Angels last week, senior players voluntarily held team meetings last weekend.”

The media continued, “In this meeting, which was convened autonomously with the players at the center, the players had an in-depth discussion, such as figuring out what was going well and what was wrong, and exchanging opinions on what was necessary and what was lacking in order to do so consistently at bat,” adding, “The opinions of the players gathered in this way were united and supported by the entire team.”

Perhaps thanks to the meeting, San Diego has been on the rise with five wins in the next six games. It won a sweep against Oakland, and in particular, it doubled its joy with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, 4-3 on the 12th and 5-4 on the 13th.

San Diego veteran pitcher Joe Musgrove (32) said in an interview with the media, “After the meeting, the individual players’ efforts to advance to win are much better than before.” 토토사이트 추천

San Diego utility player Jurickson Profar (31) also helped. “We were a team that we could do well, but we haven’t done well so far,” he said in an interview with the media. “Of course, sometimes even if we cheer up and try, we don’t get lucky and we don’t do well,” he said. “However, we should not spare continuous efforts until the end of the season regardless of the results every day.”

Kim Ha-sung’s performance during this period is also notable. In the recent six games in which his team won five games, he contributed greatly to his team’s victory by posting a batting average of 0.278 (five hits in 18 times at bat), two homers, seven RBIs, five runs scored, one stolen base and six walks.

He is a typical “summer guy” whose batting average comes to life every summer. And this year is the same pattern. As of Tuesday, he had a batting average of 0.250, two homers and 10 RBIs in June. His on-base plus slugging percentage is 0.892. His batting average, which was fixed almost at No. 8 or No. 9 last month, has been relocated to No. 6 recently as his batting average has picked up in June.

With 37 wins and 35 losses and a 0.514 win rate for this season, the San Diego Padres is maintaining its No. 2 position in the NL West this season. The team is 1.5 games ahead of the third-place San Francisco Giants. However, the team is 6.5 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers. To regain the lead, the team needs to exert more energy.

Fortunately, the San Diego Padres, which took a day off from Friday, will hold three consecutive weekend games against the weak New York Mets, who remain in fourth place in the National League East, starting Saturday. Although baseball’s charm is that the results are unknown until the lid is opened, this weekend’s three consecutive games can be seen as a good opportunity for San Diego to gain wins.

Attention is focusing on how Kim Ha-sung’s batting sense, which has been heated up in the hot weather, and San Diego’s teamwork, which has become stronger through recent team meetings, will affect the three consecutive games this weekend.

MLBcom, the official major league media, revealed its sixth batter power ranking this season on the 14th (Korea Standard Time). Judge became No. 1 for two consecutive weeks, knocking down Shohei Ohtani’s stronghold.

MLBcom, which said, “The showdown between the Dodgers and the Yankees is a showdown between big names,” said, “This is the sixth power ranking count, and so far, three other players (Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Aaron Judge) have won first place, but all of them have come from Dodgers and Yankees.” 토토사이트 추천

Judge displayed tremendous pace this season by batting .3002 with 25 home runs, 62 RBIs, 53 runs scored and five stolen bases with OPS of 1.118 in 70 games. He is seeking his second 60-homer season following the one in 2022 (62 home runs) in which he set a new American League home run record by maintaining the pace of 57 home runs this season, and his productivity at bat is even better than that of 2022. He is also highly likely to win his second MVP award following 2022.

MLBcom said, “Jersey successfully maintained his No. 1 spot. He was unanimously ranked No. 1. There is no doubt when you think of his hot run. Judge hit 22 home runs in 44 games until the 13th and hit an outrageous slash line of .383/.505/.922. After a slow start to the season, Judge is recording an OPS+ (220), which is higher than that of the 2022 season (210) when he hit 62 home runs.”

Second place went to Juan Soto (Yankees). Soto has posted a batting average of .324 (80 hits in 250 times at bat) with 17 homers, 54 RBIs, 55 runs scored and an OPS of 1.025 in 68 games this season. MLBcom said, “Soto has been ranked in the top four in all power rankings this year. This is the third time he has ranked second. For Soto, who briefly faltered after failing to play due to left forearm inflammation, it may be only a matter of time before he ranked first. Yankees manager Aaron said, “Literally, every pitch is a theater. His play is fun to watch.”

Due to his slow pace, Ohtani dropped from second to fourth. He has posted an OPS of .970 this season with 66 games batting average of 31.1 percent (82 hits in 264 at-bats) with 17 homers, 44 RBIs, 51 runs scored and 15 steals. MLBcom said, “Ohtani has been mired in a slump over the past few weeks (OPS of .588 from May 19 to June 10).” However, he is still leading the National League’s Ruta (151), and hit his 16th homerun of the season on the 12th. “I’m sure there will be more ups and downs in the future, but Ohtani, the designated hitter who is undergoing rehabilitation from elbow surgery, is still seen as a candidate to win his third MVP award.”

The MLBcom batter’s power ranking is followed by Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, No. 2, Gunner Henderson (Baltimore), No. 4, Shohei Ohtani, No. 5 Bobby Wit Jr. (Kansas City), No. 6 Bryce Harper (Philadelphia), No. 7 Jose Ramirez (Clineland), No. 8 Mookie Betts (Dodgers), No. 9 Marcel Osuna (Atlanta), and No. 10 Jordan Alvarez (Houston).

Al-Nasr’s club released an official statement on Sunday (local time) announcing that it will postpone its scheduled tour to China. The club said, “Unfortunately, we regret to announce that two games scheduled for the 24th and 28th have been postponed for reasons outside of the club’s control. We have respect for Chinese soccer fans, especially Ronaldo’s. Following close cooperative relations between Saudi Arabia and China, we are willing to end our training camp in Shenzhen, the city that welcomed us warmly. 토토사이트 순위

In addition, we agreed with the organizers to schedule a new match as soon as possible.” China was scheduled to hold friendly matches with Shanghai Shenhua on Monday and Zhejiang on Friday. Disappointed at the sudden cancellation of the match, fans stormed the hotel where Al-Nasr stayed. They also called out Ronaldo’s name repeatedly outside the hotel. Portuguese media outlet Hecord interpreted the match as “a sign of disappointment that Ronaldo failed to participate in the friendly match.”

“We have to look at the situation from a good perspective. We are not canceling the game. We will pursue the game (again). We will come back (to China).” Ronaldo visited his team Juventus and Korea in the summer of 2019 and kicked off a “no-show” and “blade head” scandal while sitting on the bench for 90 minutes in an exhibition match with the K-League All-Star.

Back then, Ronaldo never asked for understanding or offered an apology to fans who visited the stadium to see him. This is comparable to the recent tour in China. He stressed the fact that the tour was not cancelled but postponed, and promised to return to the stadium as soon as possible.

It is unclear whether Ronaldo will return to the friendly match with Inter Miami led by Lionel Messi, his “soul rival,” on Feb. 1. Al-Nasr, who faced Miami, will play a friendly match with Al Hilal on Feb. 8 and then play Alpha Iha in the round of 16 of the European Champions League on Feb. 15.
